Since it was founding, Lima has maintained a strong bond with the sea. As the city grew, wealthiest families established at the village of Chorrillos but after the war of 1881 and the big earthquake of 1940 the village declined, becoming Barranco one of the city’s most attractive neighbourhoods, particularly in the first half of 20th century.
This photo walk connects the near area of Miraflores Larcomar with Barranco Bridge of Sighs mixing the views of the coastline, street art, art galleries and the mood of these districts.

If you have already visited the main Centre of Lima, and want to visit some other spots of the city, this is the best choice.
Since the foundation in 1535 some small villages and farms became into districts. Oldest ones are those facing the ocean, so for this trip we will visit some of them: El Morro at the south side of the bay with the view of the city, Barranco the most classy neighborhood in the 19-20th century, Miraflores since 1950 became the best modern place, La Punta in the northern extreme side of the bay and the market of Magdalena, one of the oldest districts of Lima.

This is a photo walk to explore these very touristic neighborhoods.

SUGGESTED ITINERARY

After picking a taxi, we will start the photo walk in Barranco Central Park, from there we will walk to Bajada de Baños and Bridge of Sighs, then to see street art at Cajamarca St.
The photo walk will continue to the seafront for a view of Armendariz road, crossing the bridge to continue to LarcoMar and Bajada Balta bridge, Park of Love and Lighthouse to finally reach the Chinese Park and try to find a nice sport for our lasts pictures of the cliffs of the bay of Lima.

What kind of photos we may take?

What lenses are best for this trip?

For enthusiasts a smartphone or a basic camera works enough, but if you bring many lenses here are the suggestions:
A 85 mm, 105 mm for shooting people.
A zoom 24-70 / 24-105 / 35-150 mm good for multi use.
Additionals a tele and a wide angle lenses.
On sunny days a ND2 or polarized filter, and a ND16 or ND1000 if we are in a season of sunsets and you want to shoot some long exposures. Tripod recommended.

Basically in summer (Jan-Apr) you must use sunscreen and fresh clothes. Lima temperatures are on average 24-32C.
During winter (Jul-Oct) long sleeves and a wind vest for temperatures of 12-16C. Usually, it doesn´t rain too much (except in Aug-Sep) but bringing an extra coat for rain or cold may be helpful.
